Dr. Yee and his staff were very kind to me. I needed a new Dentist, after having negative experiences in the past. Dr. Yee patiently listened to my concerns and sent me to an excellent oral surgeon. Dr. Yee also provided me with a clear, logical treatment plan so I can return to his practice for an implant tooth and comprehensive care going forward. I'm so glad I found Dr. Yee on Yelp! read more

Perhaps we shouldn't be charged for work redone that was suppose to be permanently fixed the first time. Unsatisfactory work

Lyle Yee is listed as a premium dentist and he truly is. His state of the art equipment allows him to be aware of all aspects of dental care you might need. He makes his own crowns and works on teeth which have been worked on previously repaired and now need care or replacing. He is friendly and his staff is also. It's like stopping by a friend's house. read more

Dr. Yee makes you feel very welcome when you step into his office. He is friendly and accommodating. He gave me a complimentary whitening kit to use as a gift for my wedding! It was such a great surprise! Lisa (the front office manager) also did a great job fitting me in for a cleaning and exam as a new patient. read more

My cleanings at Dr Yee's office are always on time and thorough. Dr Yee keeps close tabs on my oral health and explains everything.

Having a loved one who has neglected their teeth is heartbreaking. A bad front tooth needing a crown, visible cavities and staining from cigarettes. I really wanted to get this right for my loved one, no more failed fillings or negative experiences. I knew from reading the reviews and Dr. Yee's bio, that his solid experience & credentials, along with so many happy clients, pointed to a quality dentist. After speaking to Lisa at the front desk , I felt heartened Wine Country Smiles was the right choice (initially , the name had rubbed me the wrong way as I am a Bay Area native who can't tip a pricey wine glass regularly). Lisa was down to earth and clearly proud to work with a quality dentist who is "meticulous" in his work. I also appreciate them taking Care Credit, it really opened the door of possibility that would otherwise be closed to us ( look into CC if cost is keeping you from needed dental care, it can be interest free if payments are made on time each month ). Dr. Yee's thorough, kind and non judgmental approach allowed us to get more done than I thought possible. Teeth tell a story and Dr. Yee's office has helped us to start a new chapter with a truly positive experience and a non self conscious smile to match. Thank you Dr.Yee, thank you Assistant Barbara & thank you Lisa at the front desk. read more

Dr. Yee is the Crown Whisperer! BEST DENTIST I have EVER had (I'm 55). He is caring, professional, gentle, wicked smart, a tech genius who obviously loves his craft. He pays serious attention to every little detail, I was VERY well taken care of by everyone. I am SO happy to have found him. SIX stars, not 5. Really. I recently moved to the area, and I don't look forward to choosing a new dentist. It's not like you can shop and decide, you sort of have to go in and take your chances? OMG, not so with Wine Country Smiles! Everyone there is exceptional, not kidding. You can tell they took their time finding just the right people for staff. We live next door but they really do treat us like we're neighbors. I've never had anyone in a dentist's office take the time to get to know us like they ALL did (not even one person somewhere else has ever, not like this). I've always thought it was strange to sit down in "the chair" and have your dentist go to work...while you can't really talk? Dr. Yee sat and got to know me, I mean, we were talking kids in college, all sorts of things before he started. In just a month or so my wife & I have been back maybe 6 times? Initial exams (required by California), then cleanings, and then some work. I had cracked a molar and was having food get stuck, was worried it might decay... I got in to have a crown (none as an adult until now). I had headphones on (they supplied them with Pandora) so I maybe missed something Dr. Yee said, but I got the Novocain shot and literally didn't know it happened until I realized I was getting numb. He told me later (because he answered every question and explained everything) that he uses a custom process with several steps to minimize the pain his patients feel. There's a topical numbing applied, a step to prevent the shot's preservative from causing pain, and a computer-controlled machine that pushes the shot's plunger (he told me a person pushes too fast and THAT causes pain). But I'm telling you, it WORKS. I did not know I was getting the shot (and I HATE that part more than anything; needle in the jaw? No thanks!) The crown is designed with a 3D laser scan in your mouth (basically a stick with a red light on it). He moves it around and it maps your teeth. I personally am a fan of tech, and I loved all the explanations and details. He showed me the sort of animated view on his computer screen before the crown was made, and actual before & after pictures too. The crown is milled from a blank in his lab (he showed me) and 90 minutes later he was putting it in my mouth. Nice. I was worried how tight it would be, I have close teeth and floss gets stuck & breaks/shreds a lot. The crown is spot-on, absolutely perfect. I don't know its not my own tooth for how it fits. Space for floss is exactly right, nothing extra. Like I said, the Crown Whisperer. This man is an extremely talented craftsman, nothing less. Dr Yee doesn't know it yet, but that's it, I've seen enough. I won't go to another dentist for any reason. If I move, I'm gonna come back. Right now my teeth are cleaned and fixed, I LOVE it. ALL of you, everyone in the office, you guys are AMAZING! read more

I had the most wonderful experience at this office. Everyone is super super nice. I had a really good cleaning with Karen so my teeth feel nice n clean. At the time i had my fillings appointment Dr Yee explained what they were going to do so there would not be any surprises but since i have had bad experiences before since i was a child the one that make me feel the most comfortable was his assistant Diane, she saw how scared i was during the procedure and she put her hand on my shoulder letting me know everything was fine, offered music so i would relax ( i had never listened to music at n dental office before n it makes a huge difference) and it went so smooth. I would recommend this office to anyone that is looking for a dentist. read more

Dr Yee and staff are consummate professionals - and of course the office is impeccably clean, fun, and relaxing to boot. Best dentist office I've been a patient, by a long shot. Recommended to all my peers. If your seeking a dentist, give them a call. The office staff has been very helpful when it comes to working w my insurance to make sure I'm getting the best possible benefit allowances, as well. Mikey read more

Another successful visit with Dr Yee and his great staff. Highly recommend this dental practice to everyone.

I am consistently well cared for in Dr. Yee's office. Everyone is friendly and professional. My own phobia of the dentist is respected and I feel comfortable here. read more

I had a new crown to replace an old one. Excellent, painless procedure in less than three hours. Doctor Yee and his staff are excellent! I highly recommend him for your dental needs! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Yee and all his staff.. I love that he's stays up on all the newest procedures and technology... while he's extremely knowledgeable he also takes his time to explain what's happening and never makes you feel rushed or like your a number. The girls in the office are the same ...friendly while still communicating well. I'm just sad that I never found them 10 years ago when we first moved here. read more

Our family loves Dr. Yee. He is so thoughtful and caring. I have a lot of anxiety going to the dentist, as many others, I'm sure. Every time, I'm comforted to know I'm in such good hands. They even do crowns in house!! Renee is our favorite hygienist. She is absolutely incredible. Lisa is warm and welcoming as you enter the office. Not to mention, she knows my schedule and gets me appointments that work for me. Diane, the dental assistant is wonderful as well. She is so kind and helps me feel relaxed when ever I get a procedure done. If you're looking for a dentist, call Dr Yee! read more

This is my first yelp review. I would like to highly recommend Dr Yee, best dentist I've ever had. I feel so cared for by him and his staff. They have the latest technology along with kindness, comfort and caring. I recommend him because it is definitely 5 star each time even after 5th appointment. Consistent High Quality work with compassion. read more

I read Dr Yee's reviews on Yelp, and thought he might be a good choice for a new dentist. My experience in trying to make a first appointment changed my mind. Before I would even be able to see him, I was told that I would be required to have 18 x-rays of my teeth , though I have no problems with my teeth or gums. Every year thereafter, I would be again required to have 8 more x-rays. Radiation is cumulative. The ADA since 2012 now does not recommend regular x-rays unless there are clinical findings or symptoms where an x-ray might be useful in diagnosis or treatment. When I suggested a meeting and clinical exam with Dr Yee before having x-rays, I was told by the 2 women I talked to-- a receptionist and the office manager that I would not be allowed an appointment because it was his 'policy' for all patients to have the X-rays or he would not see them. The office manager then told me to 'have a nice day!' WOW. No thanks! read more

Best dentist around! I was terrified to go to the dentist (even though im not a kid) but this place with their friendly staff will make you feel at home- like family! The waiting room is cozy&clean and has refreshments! Come check this place out :) not to mention you will leave with a better smile read more

I have been going to Dr. Lyle for over 13 years and would never go to any other Dentist. I had to go to an office my HMO Ins sent to me and cancelled it, because I wanted to continue with Dr. Yee for the simple reason he is the best as a Dentist and honest person. He will work with you and I either paid cash or Care Credit if I had to have major work. I trust him so much because, he will never tell you something has to be done or sell you something you don't need. He is honest and a very caring person and a terrific Dentist. He makes sure you are comfortable and I have never felt pain when he worked on my teeth, from root canals, to simple fillings if needed. I was terrified of going to a Dentist, but not with my visits to his office. Even when he gives you an injection to numb, you don't feel the needle. Going to Dr. Yee, is a pleasant experience. I don't think many people feel going to a Dentist is a pleasant experience, but you will see. Read all the 5 stars, don't just take my word. Diana his asst. is also very kind and pleasant and makes sure you are comfortable and they work well together. Debra and Lisa his office staff are also very nice. His office is very clean and since Covid I have been there since the beginning and was not nervous about it, because they take all the necessary steps for a very safe atmosphere. I was in the chair for three hours twice for major work and had no hesitation about it. I am elderly and covid was a high risk for me, but I didn't think twice about being in the office or around the staff or Dr. Yee and Diane. I also had my teeth cleaned recently and felt very comfortable. I cannot stress enough about the safety of Dr. Yee, his staff or the office and the kind, wonderful Dentist and person Dr. Lyle Yee. Thank you Dr. Yee for all your kind and great service. read more

I was in need of good help and they provided great help ! Great customer service with a friendly attitude, made me feel right at home!! Thanks again read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in several years due to lack of insurance and was experiencing quite a bit of pain. After recently getting dental insurance again, I was worried I needed too much done or I'd be judged. My experience was the complete opposite! The staff was very friendly and Dr. Yee was kind and gentle. He looked at the area that was causing me pain, quickly found the issue and offered to do the work right then and there. Unfortunately I didn't allow that much time off work (thinking it would be a run of the mill exam and I'd have to schedule work another day, my mistake) so we rescheduled for the following week. I'm looking forward to becoming pain free and to working with Dr. Yee and his staff for years to come for my dental needs! read more

I had the luck to find this dental office recently. I have a healthy dental phobia created by past bad experiences so searching for a new dentist is troubling to say the least. My first impression of the office was with the receptionist who is one of the most pleasant and caring persons I have had the opportunity to come in contact with. She took the time to LISTEN to my fears and helped me through the appointment process. The appointment with Dr Yee was just as pleasant. He LISTENS and tries to make the experience as pain free as possible, all the while asking for my input so as to keep it that way. The hygienist ROCKS. The support staff is caring and compassionate. I could go on and on.....let it suffice to say that Dr. Yea and his staff are wonderful! I never thought I'd say this but.....I like to go to the dentist!! Go to this office and try them out. You will not be sorry you did. They are "as good as it gets". read more

I suffer from extreme anxiety and an absolute fear of all Dentists!! Dr Yee's staff was so welcoming and understanding of my phobia that they actually made my visit pleasant and I left thinking that I could handle seeing them again. They are all extremely patient and kind and I truly appreciate them. read more

I am relatively new to the North Bay and was looking for a great dentist in the area. I found Dr. Yee on Yelp after reading numerous five start reviews. From the moment I called his office, Deborah answered right away and was warm, friendly and professional. I just had my initial exam and cleaning at Dr. Yee's office. Their COVID protocol is organized and effective, the entire staff was very friendly and welcoming, the office is clean and updated, and they have all the latest in high tech dental equipment. Karen did my cleaning and did an wonderful job! Dr. Yee was incredibly friendly and made me feel very comfortable. He is clearly knowledgeable and experienced in his field. I feel as though I have been going to Dr. Yee's office for years. I will be bringing the rest of my family to see Dr. Yee and I highly recommend anyone looking for a stellar dentist to give his office a call. Very pleased! read more

Been to many different dentists over the years. None have ever made any efforts to go over & beyond in taking care of myself, & almost my entire family the way Dr. Yee & his staff does. Best dentist in Sonoma County, with an extremely kind & caring staff. Thanks Dr. Yee! read more

I was referred to Dr. Lyle Yee by a family friend that works in the dental industry and really knows his stuff, so to speak. I was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. I'm a college student and I work in customer service, so I know good service and I'm often subjected to poor services as a result people's tendency to assume I'm incompetent because of my young age...that was certainly not the case at this dental office. All of my prior experiences at hospitals and dental offices do not compare to the quality service I received at Wine Country Smiles. On top of being incredibly fast and minimally invasive, Dr. Lyle Yee was so kind and mindful of my comfort throughout the appointment--and even let me listen to Pandora with headphones he gave me to muffle the sounds of the tools that were making me uneasy. His work was excellent quality, and he walked me through everything he was doing, showed me pictures of my tooth through each step of the procedure, and not to mention, he gave me a voucher for a free smoothie at the Juice shack down the street! Not only was Dr. Yee wonderful but so was the rest of his staff! Both, Alicia at the front desk and Diane, the dental assistant, were an absolute delight. They both made me very comfortable throughout the entire process and Diane even held my hand when she noticed I was getting a little nervous while Dr. Yee was giving me a shot--How sweet is that?! After two appointments I was so comfortable and I felt like I've known these people forever. The anxiety I usually feel when visiting the dentist was completely gone. Not to mention the office was so nice!! I have so many more great things to say about my experience but I'll wrap it up and say, if you are looking for a new dentist LOOK NO FURTHER. I never thought I would say this about a trip to the dentist, but this was by far one of the greatest services I have received and I have no doubt that this exceptional quality service is extended to all of his patients. If you're local and looking for an excellent dentist, Dr. Lyle Yee is an absolute gem! read more

Lyle Yee, DDS - I'll take a free smoothie over a lolly pop any day! So sweet. - General Dentistry Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

See all

Wine Country Smiles (Lyle Yee, DDS) was referred to me by a coworker. Without a doubt this dentistry practice is the best. I have never had such a detailed, honest and educational exam and procedure. Lyle takes the time to explain and show everything with color photos of your teeth. He performed a filling replacement and there was NO pain at all. They use state of the art equipment. The clincher for my loyalty was Lyle calling back later in the afternoon to check up on my. I have had several doctors say they would call back but never did. Lyle Yee did! Finally, they greet you by name every single time. It is as if you have been going there all of your life. They work directly with the insurances so you know what you will be responsible for (if anything) before you walk out the door. read more

So friendly and knowledgeable so happy I found this dentist and my adult sons go there too

My husband and I have been VERY HAPPY with Dr. Yee and his staff for over 10 years! Dr. Yee stays on top of the latest technology and is very attentive to the comfort of the patient, as well as every detail in his work. (beautiful crowns) The staff is top notch! They are so caring and professional, and work together like a "well oiled machine" to make sure all of your needs are met. Highly recommend !! read more

I have been going to Dr. Lyle Yee for years and no insurance. Now I have Insurance through my HMO, but not with him. Guess what, when I need work done on my teeth, I will skip the insurance and pay cash through Care Credit in installments just so Dr. Yee and no other Dentist works on my teeth or performs surgery on my mouth. I only trust Dr. Yee, his experience, caring, knowledge and gentleness. He has a great staff, because he is a caring person and his staff are caring also. Diane his assistant is very good and gentle. Rene and Teri, his hygentist are very good. I do go once a year to get my cleaning at the office my HMO sends me too and use my Insurance then. They are OK, but no one beats Wine Country Smiles. I have been OK so far with the teeth, because of Dr. Yee. I have not been there lately, but that is where I will go when work needs to be done regardless of no Ins. Do yourself a big favor when you need a great Dentist and staff and make an appointment. You will never be afraid to go to the Dentist again and your smile will be great. read more

Agree with other poster-- as good as it gets. Everyone is organized, professional, kind, very very gentle personable. Probably not the least expensive, but all the most current tools to minimize pain and ease of visits. Great communications, too, with texting and emails for confirmations, etc. I had about 6 years of dental neglect treated here-- lived there over the summer it seemed-- never disappointed by any one or any procedure. read more
